Read the part that talks about the Obama Administration suing more Whistleblowers than any other Administration in History.
Russia has another way of dealing with "Whistleblowers" and wayward Press.
They use bullets.
It's amazing that any study that puts a country like that above the US is taken seriously.
Actually they didn't put Russia ahead of us even the map shows you that much. Maybe the real situation is that people don't pay attention?
What place we're in depends a lot on how the freedom score is defined and weighted. We're lost noticeable amounts of freedom since 9/11 and censorship is worse than before in my own lifetime, but in some ways the censorship is actually positive as there are many things we simply don't need to see except to appeal to a sick and twisted mind. Consequently, while it's fair and true we're not as free as we once were, that's actually not a bad thing because what we've lost is usually stuff we didn't need in the first place and wasn't do anything positive for us.
Absolute freedom is anarchy and lawlessness.
You and your conservative rags....
RawStory is progressive. Lefties here link to it constantly.
The Raw Story describes itself as progressive, bringing attention to stories that it sees as downplayed or ignored by other media outlets.
The Raw Story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What truly is distressing is that the American press aside from being under pressure from the Obama Administration are under pressure from their own employers.
Think about the number of CEO's who have siblings working in the Administration such as the Presidents of CBS and ABC (both siblings involved deeply in Benghazi).
Honestly if you were employed by either CBS or ABC as a journalist are you going to report the truth about Benghazi and lose your job?
So reporters in the media aren't just being squeezed by the administration but by their employers as well.
In other words, they're screwed every which way but loose.
I would agree with the assessment. And Sallow, it didn't say Russia was better...it shows Russia is worse.
The freedom of the press has certainly taken some hits by this administration. Investigations including email infiltration etc. without a warrant.
I don't give a damn which side you are on - this is fundamentally unacceptable.
I love love this quote from the Atlantic....
Take it from Lee Greenwood.
"I'm proud to be an American because at least I know I'm freer than 47th-ranked Haiti" just doesn't have the same exceptionalist ring to it.

It is sad, but the way they described it was pretty funny.
You call what Snowden and Manning did "freedom of the press".

Who makes the subjective decision on "stuff we didn't need in the first place and wasn't do anything positive for us?" Censorship can never be Positive.
It will only get worse.
Meet the FCC Commissioner Who?s Blowing the Whistle on His Own Agency?s Planned Study of Newsrooms | Video | TheBlaze.com
Ajit Pai, commissioner of the FCC, has said that his agency has been ordered by the government to infiltrate newsrooms around the country and gather data about why the media chooses the stories they do. He is blowing the whistle because he cites his concerns over potential First Amendment violations that might ensue.
Nice knowing you Ajit. Obama will have you for lunch.
